We will bring ourselves together in a meditation and the invitation is to find a posture.

Any posture that really supports you in coming into presence that supports you in feeling

grounded and feeling safe that you can feel really right here and you might let your gaze be lowered

or for some closing your eyes, whatever works for you. I sometimes like to think of a tree and

just sense the roots really rooted in this earth or mother belonging to the earth, feeling that

sense of gravity of belonging here and also just sensing the space around that has room for this

coming, going life for all the experiences that are here.

So letting the attention go inward, becoming aware of this life breath.

Let's breathe together. It's so beautiful to breathe together a bit, extending the in breath,

take a nice long deep in breath to the count of five and a slow out breath again releasing to the count of five.

Breathing in together, filling the chest and the lungs.

And that slow out breaths you can feel the release of air through the nostrils. Let it go. Let it go.

And again, breathing in, filling the chest and the lungs.

The slow out breath softening down the length of the body letting go, letting go.

And then as the breath resumes in its natural rhythms, just sense that you can observe and feel the breath

from an increasing sense of presence.

And continuing with an awareness of the breath, you can also begin to scan the body deepening that

presence, healing the area of the eyes, the region around the eyes and softening the eyes.

Breathing in, breathing out. You might even sense a smiling into the eyes, letting the brow be smooth.

In a similar way, you might have a smile at the lips, a very slight smile.
